Bai Ningning was in a great mood, looking at the super cute girl in the mirror, and spun around in place.
Although she had a cold-resistant physique and could dress lightly for three seasons of the year, there was still winter, and she had to buy some winter clothes.
The clothes she had worn at home were all summer outfits—either hot pants or short skirts, T-shirts or tank tops, or sleeveless shirts. When she looked in the mirror wearing them, Bai Ningning thought to herself—
"Strange, why do I look so flashy?"
Now, wearing autumn clothes with a high collar, fluffy sleeves, and a cute black-and-white checkered pattern, she no longer looked flashy, but adorable!
Well, it was a bit hard to be completely unflashy, but at least she didn't look as flashy anymore, and her cuteness had greatly increased.
Turning her head, she saw Qin Yue and Qin Xin standing together, whispering about something.
Never mind them; she wanted to pick out a few more cute outfits.
......
"She took the initiative to go shopping with a few junior sisters?"
"Went shopping together."
Qin Yue frowned: "Did you see her with those junior sisters shopping with your own eyes?"
"I not only saw it with my own eyes," Qin Xin said calmly, "I also went along with them."
Didn't expect that, did you? I was one of them.
Qin Yue paused: "What do you think about it?"
"What do you mean, what do I think?" Qin Xin looked at her in confusion, "The senior sister is a volunteer, taking a few unfamiliar junior sisters to a place where they need to buy things, introducing them to the local customs, isn't that very normal?"
Qin Yue twitched her lips.
She thought, since this is so normal, why did you mention it in the same breath as a date?
Moreover, there's another issue: in the eyes of a straight girl like her sister, it's normal for a senior sister to take a few junior sisters shopping. But the problem is, the little green tea isn't a straight girl!
And she was the one who took the initiative!
"I think, Ningning senior sister taking us junior sisters shopping is just acting as a guide," Qin Xin said at this moment, "Sister, you shouldn't be thinking too much about it."
Qin Yue sighed: "I'm not overthinking it."
"But your expression has changed."
"...Because I was thinking about other things, it has nothing to do with this."
After speaking, Bai Ningning had also picked out her clothes and walked over with her shopping bag: "I'm done shopping, what about you?"
"We don't have anything to buy," Qin Xin answered first, "We have too many clothes."
Qin Yue didn't say anything, just looked at her with a deep gaze.
Bai Ningning noticed this familiar gaze, paused slightly, thinking, I didn't say anything, did I provoke you again? She looked down at her shopping bag… her view was blocked by a big pillow, but since she had just bought it, she knew without looking that there were three outfits and two individual pieces inside.
Do you think I bought too much, that it's wasteful?
So, she said, "I still have some savings; I can pay for myself."
Before Qin Yue could respond, Qin Xin spoke up: "Sister took us out shopping, so she shouldn't have to pay for herself. You know, the last time we went shopping, it was the junior sisters who paid."
"..." Qin Yue felt her blood pressure rising.
How strange. Even though the little green tea didn't say anything weird for once, she still ended up having a day where her blood pressure spiked.
"Put your phone down; I don't want you to end up at school one day without money for lunch, pitifully asking me for it."
Blood pressure or not, Qin Yue still took out her phone and scanned the code for her little green tea.
Ding! Payment successful.
"Is the senior sister's living allowance not enough?" Qin Xin said casually, "But it's okay; with the senior sister's popularity at school, you won't go hungry."
Qin Yue turned to look at her.
Bai Ningning was also a bit confused: "Why do you say that?"
She didn't think she had any popularity at school.
"The senior sister has provided a lot of help and care for us junior sisters," Qin Xin said leisurely, "Although the senior sister is a volunteer, she doesn't act like other volunteers who are so perfunctory; she is dedicated and responsible, and even goes beyond her duties to help and take care of a few junior sisters."
Bai Ningning twitched her lips, thinking, Am I really that dedicated? I don't think so.
"So?" Qin Yue's voice was somewhat suppressed.
"So, putting everything else aside, at least for a few junior sisters, if they knew that Ningning senior sister didn't have money for lunch," Qin Xin said lightly, "They would be very willing to be the senior sister's meal card."
"Is that so?" Bai Ningning tilted her head, "That sounds pretty good."
Being grateful to those who help you is a good thing.
Qin Yue looked at her with a deep gaze, as if to say, you seem quite pleased with yourself.
"Since we're done shopping, let's go back," the older sister said coldly, "It's getting late."
Life has a small portion of warmth, but a large portion of conflict. Now that the warmth has ended, it's time to ignite the flames of conflict.
"Going back now?" Bai Ningning was slightly taken aback, "But you haven't bought anything yet. Aren't you going to buy gifts to take home?"
So, the so-called shopping for gifts was just to buy herself an outfit to wear to the Qin family's old house?
"Ningning senior sister, this is just a simple family gathering; it doesn't matter whether we have gifts or not," Qin Xin explained, "It's not a special occasion."
"I see."
"Exactly, saying we're shopping for gifts is just an excuse to look around and buy whatever we feel we need," Qin Xin continued, "Just like last time when we went shopping, the junior sisters bought you underwear."
Qin Yue's blood pressure was about to burst.
Meanwhile, in the parking lot, Aunt Zou was still sitting in the car. While waiting for the Qin sisters to finish shopping, she was also reporting to Mr. and Mrs. Qin.
Seeing the two Qin sisters with Bai Ningning shopping together, standing very close and behaving intimately, the eldest young lady was unaware.
The second daughter of the Qin family had taken Bai Ningning shopping together. The three stood very close, their interactions naturally intimate—though the eldest miss seemed oblivious.
Seeing the message, the Qin parents were delighted. Mrs. Qin kept telling Mr. Qin, "See? I told you; Xin Xin has always been clever since she was little. She successfully blended into this 'date-like shopping trip' by using the identity of a 'straight-girl little sister.'"
Although both sisters went out for the little succubus, since they were shopping together, there would inevitably be interaction. As long as there was interaction, the sisterly bond would slowly deepen, like spring water nourishing things silently.
"After shopping today," Qin Mom finally said with satisfaction, "The relationship between the two sisters will definitely become much more harmonious."
Aunt Zou deeply agreed.
At this moment, she received a message from Qin Yue, asking her to drive to the intersection they came from immediately to pick them up.
"So soon? It's not even five o'clock yet…"
Aunt Zou muttered to herself and drove to the intersection. It was the best time of the afternoon, with people coming and going on the streets, bustling with activity. But even with the crowd, the combination of two beautiful girls and a pretty older sister was very eye-catching. Even mixed in with the crowd, they could be spotted at a glance.
Stopping the car at the intersection, Aunt Zou looked through the car window and saw Bai Ningning, who had a cold expression but was in a good mood, Qin Xin, who had a blank expression but seemed pleased as if she had won a victory, and Qin Yue, who had a face that said "don't come near me" but was indeed angry.
... What's going on?
